After the pause the netherland premiere of the 6th symphony of the late composer Avet Terterian is to be heard. This armenian composer, who died 6 years ago, wrote very remarkable music, which was very seldom heard in our country. In his symphony for chamber orchestra and chamber choir, 9 tapes (LP) are added at precisely defined times. Maybe one could regard this as early Scratch.
The 6th symphony was performed by the Radiokamerorkstra and the Capella Amsterdam, conducted by Peter Eötvös and, as Willem P. Heuseveldt informed us, was very much appreciated by the audience.
